Then that's even worse. So in many instances with the cliffs and mountains, you don't even have the option to travel faster through the monotony.
I really do think this game would fair much better if the world was inhabited by interesting shit to do and experience beyond your main objectives. It's so barren and beautiful in the barest of ways.

Yea, this is nuts. I don't know what's causing these kind of reactions. Is it blind Kojima hate or just the usual console war fuckery? 84 is a great score for any game especially a new IP that's trying to be innovative and push boundaries.
OP
OP
It's not just that though, it's plenty of other shit in a bunch of different threads but I wouldn't expect you to know. I just snapped and I apologize. I'll add a link to it in the OP right now but it doesn't change the fact that the dude is an insufferable prick. I'm just out here tryna do shit for you all and he's gotta nitpick every fucking detail it's genuinely annoying like get the fuck out of my face???? I really don't care if I get banned or warned for saying this. It'd be my first ever.
I got that the first time you said it, and I just said in the post you quoted I am fine with impressions. I was responding to a different question.
Again, I don't know why it's a problem for Edge to write a preview, I was under the impression Sony was specifically barring reviews. They shouldn't try and block anyone from writing impressions, long as that's specified that's no problem.
god you're insufferable. if you've got something to say about me just fucking say it instead of finding an excuse to whine about me every other post you obsessed cretin. I've never blocked a user on any platform until now. Kindly fuck off.
Whatever man. I'm not doing any more of these.
Jesus man. Walk away from the thread and just relax for a bit.
death stranding: a game about manual labor, by people who don't do manual labor, for people who don't do manual labor...
Can you link me to one of the reviews that don't ever mention it being monotonous/tedious/repetitive/whatever?
Thanks.
Just wait until the American reviewers chime in, that score will drop.
In your face Death Stranding.
Just tell him you love hormone-free milk and chicken, it'll just eat away at him.
its a glorified walking simulator that is absolutely a stunner to look at
All i needed, cannot wait till next weekend.

The very first review (GamingAge) listed on Metacritic has the following review summary quote.
"I was hooked from the first time I saw the title screen until the credits rolled 72 hours later. Death Stranding is immensely satisfying, and everything I could have hoped for and more from Kojima Productions."
I feel like BAD's ladder will get no likes from vestan.
I once glided towards a shrine from a very high mountain for 10 min flat while eating bananas for stamina, think I'll be fine too.
I'm not sure what this has to do with the point I was making
I honestly only recall mentioning this dude in this thread to ask about Opencritic and the same like many weeks ago in the Borderlands 3 thread? This is rude tbhgod you're insufferable. if you've got something to say about me just fucking say it instead of finding an excuse to whine about me every other post you obsessed cretin. I've never blocked a user on any platform until now. Kindly fuck off.

I don't know....after Days Gone I don't think we can say reviews will hurt it, especially with it being a PS4 exclusive..
He is retweeting anything with a score in it. Why are you singling out this one?
Reading several reviews, I'll stick with my decision to pass. Just doesn't seem like my cup of tea at all as someone fatigued on traversing open worlds who doesn't like survival stuff, inventory management, delivery missions etc.
I'm not even joking, my sides hurt from laughter right now. Last few pages are the best review shit ever...Anne Frank, full-on rage attacks, BAD's ladder not getting a like from vestan, "nice job bringing people together Kojima"...
Seriously, thanks everyone, this shit is hilarious
I can't tell you why but this almost has me pissing my pants, pure gold Jerry!

Breh. I don't know what's real or what's not in this thread anymore.
This easy allies review summary kind of hits the nail on the head. I don't think there will be wrong opinions on this game but there is far too much emotional investment on it's reception.
Review
" Death Stranding contains aspects that could have been better. It's also easy to cherish your time with it. It's exactly the kind of game that opens your eyes to how nauseatingly safe most games are. Death Stranding shoots for the moon, carelessly tossing away convention in ways others wouldn't dare. The game wants you to be uncomfortable, confused, bored, and to reflect on those feelings, to sit with them for a while. There is a sense of fearlessness here that's hard not to respect and that most aren't given the opportunity to attempt. Death Stranding is an easy, easy game to complain about or even be angry at, but it's also a lot more fascinating than many other, more conservative works. "
Not everybody is going to want that experience and they are not wrong to dislike it at all but it has a right to exist and it's probably a good thing there is freedom to create a game like this.

I can't yo, walking simulators are so boring. Sorry Kojima, I love you but I just can't.
